Getting washer fluid in the tires
 
OK, I used to work in a tire shop and did more than my fair share of tractor tires full of calcium. I cant say I miss that work. We had a pump and the tubes had special valves on them.
How are you guys putting the washer fluid into your tires??? The same way, or is there a trick that you guys are using to do the job at home???

Here is the way I did it without tubes. Many other members shared the way they do it too. I've seen some youtube videos also. When I do my next set I will use tubes. Hope this helps. :beerchug:

I use my pump-up garden sprayer. I added a valve stem to the sprayer so that I can use my air compressor to pressurize it quickly.

1. Remove the spray wand from the sprayer.
2. Remove the valve core from the tire. (I use tubes in tires that are fluid filled) make sure the stem is up so you can bleed off the air pressure later.
3. Slip the sprayer hose over the valve stem and secure with a hose clamp.
4. Pour a gallon of fluid in the sprayer and pressurize it. The fluid will be pushed into the tire.
5. Relieve pressure in sprayer.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the tires are filled to the valve stems.

Dagenham...this past summer I did a set (my first time). They were brand new AG tires on rims that I sandblasted and painted with KBS Rustseal so I went tubeless. I mounted the tires and inflated them to seal the beads, then broke the bead on the valve stem side only. Laid it down on the floor valve stem side up and the sidewall pushed down below the rim edge enough to pour in the liquid. Poured in my decided upon amount of liquid and used a ratchet strap around the center of tire to expand the bead back to the rim, pumped in some air to seal it and that was it. Piece of cake, nothing needed but a ratchet strap. The hardest part was breaking the bead after it had been seated.

Fill the bucket full of washer fluid, attach the adapter and hose to the valve stem. This drill has a lock on the switch, so you can just lock it on and let it run.

This is how I did mine...

Thanks for the info guys. I have tubeless tires so breaking the bead seems like a pretty easy way to go.

Do it with the curve of the tubing going to the top inside of tire.
That way the fluid will go in much faster cause the air will bleed out as the fluid goes in.
